Why do you have so many invite party hunts now? It used to be a rarity, but now they’re happening almost every other hunt, and not all of us can afford to sustain the invites required to drop <22 invites that frequently.

[ATA]Jean - Invite parties actually have an interesting history. When we first introduced them, the idea was that they’d become a permanent part of the game. Instead, we just ran them occasionally as a trial… and then kind of never stopped. So in a way, it’s been an 8-year-long “temporary experiment” that never officially wrapped up and became part of how invite parties work!
Looking ahead, we want to give parties more attention overall, both regular and EC parties. One idea we have been considering is finally making invite parties a permanent thing. That’s by no means set in stone, but it’s something we’d like to explore, and of course we’d want to hear from the community on things like this, understand what they do and don't like about invite parties.
Moreover though, we really want to create more brand new parties. We get asked about this a lot, and we agree there’s so much potential here. For both new regular parties and new EC parties, there’s a lot of room to expand and try different things. Personally, I’m really excited about this!
